What's the easiest way to run a wire from the trunk to the front seat on a 94 LS? I did the Aux in mod and need to plug the wire into my XM radio.
Searched and found nothing, and the trunk seems pretty sealed up compared to my last car.

what i did for my subs was (cause i couldn't remove my rear seats, or i would've tried to find an opening through there).. i removed the trunk liner and put the wire behind it and took it through the opening through my nakamichi sub cover and then i hid it behind the top of the seats until i got to the side panels and pretty much from there, it's all in the door sills.. so the only time you see the wire is from the sub cover to the top of the seat.. maybe there's a better way through the rear seats, but i'm not too sure about it

I know you are asking about a gen 1 but I can only tell you where it can easily be done on a gen 2 like my 2000 LS400. After removing the rear seat back, I found holes between the passenger compartment and the trunk behind the top corners of the rear seat back. I think the holes were covered with rubber grommets. I don't remember how large the holes are but they were big enough to run a coax cable between the passenger compartment and the trunk.

I ran the coax cable under the passenger side door sill since the OEM phone antenna I was connecting to was on the right side of the trunk. The door sills pop right off with a trim removal tool.

If you have a choice and if you want to run it under the door sills, I suggest you run it on the driver's side so you don't have to thread the wire behind the glove compartment and in-dash CD player.

I assume you know that the gas tank is between the trunk and the rear seat back. I actually caught a trailer hitch installer about to drill from the trunk through the gas tank into the rear seat area thinking that was the best way to run the trailer wiring forward to the car battery -- and he said he knew all about Lexus cars!

Thanks for the directions. As a temporary solution I popped open the subwoofer cover and ran the wire through one of the holes. When I get the time I will remove the back seat and wire it nicely.
I'm now enjoying my XM radio.
